The Future of Professional Wrestling

Lucha Underground is a weekly wrestling show, ran by the famed Mexican promotion AAA, is their first attempt to appeal to an English speaking audience. The show is a hybrid of the Mexican and American wrestling cultures, with a large emphasis on high flying action, and high production values. It is unlike any other wrestling program on television today with its biggest upside in my opinion, being the long term story lines, with extremely well done backstage segments. You often feel like you are watching a high quality Spanish drama, rather than a straight wrestling show. This combined with one of the most talented rosters in the world, featuring the most interesting and diverse group of characters I have ever seen on any wrestling program, truly makes me believe that Lucha Underground is the future of professional wrestling.
